Talk:Life of a Norse God

First off, I'm not trying to be a know-it-all buzzkill, so please don't take the following questions to be insulting or confrontational, as that is not my intent.

Are we talking Marvel (lack of) Accuracy or Mythological Accuracy? I just ask because what I know of the mythological Loki is that he is Half-Æsir (God), Half-Jötunn (Giant) and blood brother to Odin (well, I know a LOT more than that, but I digress), while Marvel has him as Odin's adopted son . . . and don't get me started on how they messed up Thor and Sif . . .

The only daughter of his that has high mention in mythology is Hel, whose mother is a Jötunn (and not Loki's Jötunn wife Sigyn, I might add), making any incestuous issue between Loki (50% Æsir/50% Jötunn) and Hel (25% Æsir/75% Jötunn) therefore 37.5% Æsir / 62.5% Jötunn . . . so I'm uncertain where the Elf lineage you are speaking of (as the Norse fairies were elves) is coming from. Is that another Marvel thing? Also the Jötnar are equal to the Æsir and Vanir, and are basically another race of gods, so the issue would be a full god instead of a demi-god, as none of the races are elves, dwarves (which are actually called dark elves), or humans.

I only ask because I absolutely LOVE Norse Mythology, and would love to read a story based on it; but I am not nearly as familiar with Marvel's mutilation of the mythology. --Elerneron (talk) 07:04, 25 October 2016 (CEST)

Edit: My bad I just needed to read further. I'll be back after I have. Sorry. --Elerneron (talk) 07:06, 25 October 2016 (CEST)

Okay, so what I'm getting from this is that it is tangental to the mythology? It's based off of myth with the only original mythological character introduced so far being Loki himself . . . is that correct? Or did I miss one of Loki's mythological liaisons in my study of Norse mythology? . . . because then I would have to flog myself. --Elerneron (talk) 07:19, 25 October 2016 (CEST)
